Hi David.

You can un-reconcile a txn by clicking on the "Y" in the account register.  
You'll probably have to confirm in a dialog box, though.

If you delete a reconciled txn (or un-reconcile it) I think that the next time 
you run the reconcile dialog, you'll find that the opening balance will be 
wrong.   Don't worry about that, set the closing balance correctly and go 
through the process and it should all come out right in the end.

HTH,
Maf.
